The Keiichi sunglasses from District Vision were the ones that introduced me to the brand and instantly had me hooked. This everyday model in a familiar silhouette is super simple to wear.

An amphibious foam summer shoe that has a conversation starting style. The Merrell hydro moc is all around strange, and that’s what I like about it.

A super lightweight, functional, and effective jacket from a brand that continues to impress. The Pas Normal Studios mechanism stow away jacket is an easily packable outer layer composed of Japanese durable water repellent treated nylon.

Probably one of my favorite pieces of outerwear from Haven thus far, the Polartec® Windbloc® boulder fleece is incredibly functional while also being quite easy on the eyes.

8 pockets spread across contrasting materials accented by a zipper and drawstrings make up the John Elliott miramar tactical cargo shorts.

Pas Normal Studios mechanism jerseys were 100% built with the ethos of form and function. The superior race fit is tough to beat if you’re seeking pure performance with low aero drag and warm weather riding comfort.

I’ll start by saying, I believe Haven’s original garments produced over the past 2 years are some of the more underrated technical apparel pieces on the market today. Their utilization and curation of functional materials leaves me in anticipation for each season’s release.

Easily my number 1 go to pair of shorts all summer long for casual outings day or night. The John Elliott Himalayan shorts do an excellent job of marrying comfort and style with a refined sporty look suitable for many occasions.

Blending athletic performance with style is never an easy endeavor as one aspect is typically compromised for the other. That couldn’t be further from the truth with the District Vision Junya Racer sunglasses.

For endurance runners, more and more quick and efficient shoe options are hitting the market from all of the top brands. One of the groundbreakers, the Nike Alphafly 1 Next%, released in 2020 after the prototype aided Kipchoge to a sub two hour marathon.

I don’t typically wear pleated pants. They tend to feel outdated without serving any significant stylistic purpose. But something felt special about the John Elliott studio pants.

Sneaker collaborations come and go over the years with many seeming to serve the purpose of creating artificial exclusivity. Rarely does one come along that truly demonstrates the authentic style of the collaborating brands.

Reigning Champ has amassed a cult following for one reason - simple details. Taking a basic garment like a sweatshirt and elevating the design to a wardrobe staple that I greatly look forward to wearing each and every winter is no simple task.

When I find something that checks all of the boxes for its intended purpose, I tend to double down. That is exactly what I have done with the Reigning Champ Deltapeak™ training t-shirt.

Often an overlooked staple in any closet is the comfortable and trusty long sleeve basic t-shirt. I’ve always been a fan of a short sleeve t-shirt under either a hoodie or jacket during the winter months as it allows me to shed layers throughout the day.

I thought my younger days of wearing joggers were behind me, I was definitely wrong. Lured in by the ankle cinch shock cord and interesting material mix, I couldn’t pass up the purchase.

Reigning Champ has been at the pinnacle of french terry and fleece garment making for a while now and I applaud their more recent efforts to develop some outerwear focused pieces.

There is a vast variety of fleece out there ranging from your generic, scratchy, thin, rough polyester all the way to a more comfortable and soft Polartec®.
